principal bundle
Let be a topological space on which a topological group
acts continuously and freely. The map is called a principal bundle
(or principal -bundle) if the projectionmap is a locally trivial bundle.
Any principal bundle with a section is trivial, since the map given by is an isomorphism
. In particular, any -bundle which is topologically trivial is also isomorphic to as a -space. Thus any local trivialization of as a topological bundle is an equivariant trivialization.
